French investors are increasingly optimistic about Hong Kong, driven by strong market performance and improved geopolitical conditions following US President Trump's visit to Beijing. Financial Secretary Paul Chan noted a significant shift in perceptions since his last visit two years ago, with Hong Kong's stock market rising 28% in 2025. Investors now express a 'fear of missing out' as they realize they may have under-allocated to the market. Chan aims to attract investment and highlight Hong Kong's role as a bridge between Chinese and European businesses.

Hong Kong will halve tolls for commercial vehicles using public tunnels for two months starting Sunday, aiming to reduce business costs amid rising fuel prices due to the Middle East conflict. The 50% discount applies to buses, goods vehicles, light buses, and registered taxis, while private vehicles are excluded. The measure is designed to alleviate operating costs without requiring applications from vehicle owners. Additionally, the government has previously introduced diesel and LPG subsidies to address fuel price volatility, with Brent crude prices around US$107 per barrel.
